The Group/Network election will be held in conjunction with the IADR General Election.

IADR Student members will only receive the ballot for the Scientific Group or Networks they belong to. Successful candidates will begin their term of service after the 2026 IADR/AADOCR/CADR General Session & Exhibition in San Diego, CA, USA (March 25-28, 2026).
